| If there is one graphic element that makes me roll my eyes, its plastic shiny everything. The ground to does not shine, nor does someones butt cheeks, unless they have something on them.
Most things are flat colored objects. I also believe that lighting is more important than just about anything. Granted to you need some detail in your models to help the lighting, but I think thats just an extension of good lighting.
Take a look at little big planet and mgs4 (first level). I feel the lighting in those games are very very good. They give the objects a sense of realism, and looking down an ally in mgs4 is probably how you would it expect it to be lit.
I've never seen eq2 in action, only stills. WoW I play a lot and I always have specular highlights turned off. I think its wayyyy out there. On snow it looks great. On dirt...not so much.
